GBC... My first Gameboy... Perhaps the "Pocket" was prettier, but this one was COLOUR, plus it fitted nicely in your hands... a real classic beast.
Agreed.
My very first handheld was an Atomic Purple GBC (Along with Pokémon Yellow.)
Nowadays, I don't have either of them anymore.
But I don't mind, because I have a Gameboy Pocket with Pokémon Red and Green.
Honestly, I prefer playing them on a Gameboy Pocket than on a Gameboy Color.
(And I think Red/Green/Blue are better than Yellow.)
The screen on the Gameboy Pocket is bigger, and color doesn't matter much to me since all I got is Pokémon Red and Green.
If I want to play them in color, I got my GBA SP, which I think looks (and functions) better than the original GBA.
Though I totally agree about the landscape part.
Also, the second version of the Pocket is better than the first version.
This is because the fist version doesn't have a power LED.
